Google 90 minute IPA for the full story.
I think the 90 minute refers to how long a certain process the beer is exposed to, but not sure.
The 60 Minute IPA is 6% alcohol - the 90 minute a hefty 9% (and 12 oz = 294 calories!!), and the rare and yet to be tasted by tomterp 120 minute IPA a whopping 20% alcohol. Here are some tasting notes about the 90 minute, which I like a lot.
Esquire Magazine calls our 90 Minute .I..PA., "perhaps the best I.P.A. in America." An Imperial I.P.A. brewed to be savored from a snifter. A big beer with a great malt backbone that stands up to the extreme hopping rate. This beer is an excellent candidate for use with Randall The Enamel Animal!

i think i've seen the 120 minute at 5th and ECapitol. Might want to wait for confirmation if you feel like making the trek. is that 12%?
speaking of high alcohol beers i had some kinda bourbon (and possibly vanilla and/or oatmeat) beer at chophouse a year or two ago. i think it was 11%. the first couple of sips were alright, then a had about a half pint of what tasted like mostly bourbon. kinda burned the stomach
